Default Question for about using IF formula LEFT function at the same time

Can the LEFT text function be used in an IF formula?

For example:

Instead of =IF(F7<G7,"SEA","SF") how would this work?
=IF(F7<G7,"=LEFT(C6,3)","=LEFT(C5,3)")

Instead of getting Sea or San as my result, I get EFT(C6,3)

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
